Export / Import Extension

Bit of a strange thing going on here.
If i type my product description out in the description box and save it it will appear in full on the products page as it should.
If i use the spreadsheet the Export / Import Extension provides and type in my description in there and then import it it will only import 255 characters worth of my full description that is 600+ charters long. Why is it only importing 255 characters?
Doesn't seem to be any setting for this Extension limiting the description length.

I have just under 800 products so entering descriptions individually is not an option

Thanks

Tom

well, look at that import extension, the database can hold 65,535 characters for the description so it isn't that.
an excel column has a max width of 255 but a cell can contain up to 32,767 characters.

It was that an excel column has a max width of 255. Only work around is using CSV and a different extension.

The XLSX spreadsheet supports more than 255 characters for a worksheet cell. I suggest you use LibreOffice Calc instead of MS Excel.
